IN OUR
VALLEY
a By CHARLES HALLaa
THE MEETING of highway offi-
cials at Austin today will be watched
with Interest by Brownsville people
inasmuch as Judge O C. Dancy is
seeking funds with which to have
the hard surfaced road to Point Isa-
bel completed.
The county has now completed its
work of paving the first half of the
road and Judge Dancy is seeking
t get the state to fulfill a tenta-
tive agreement made some time ago.
Cameron county has expended $300-
000 on the project and $250000 will
be asked of the highway department.
Judge Dancy before leaving
Brownsville on this mission said he
entertained high hcnes of his re-
quest being granted and intimated
that he might have another little
road surprise in store for local tax
payers.

WITH TOMORROW the day set
on which residents have promised to
have all fruit strippd off the trees
in the area in which larva of the
Morelos fruit fly was said to have
been found federal representatives
|| in charge of the work consider that
^ eradication has already been accom-
plished.
There is no “scare” over the situ-
ation. Brownsville people living in
the area mapped out by federal in-
spectors have readily fallen into
line to lend every assistance. The
fruit taken off the trees will be bur-
ied and with it it was said all fear

MEMBERS OP THE Brownsville
Lions club at their regular weekly
meeting tomorrow intend to bring
up for discussion the question of a
port for this city.
It Is by constantly hammering on
such a meire by all civic bodies and
interested citizens that this great
aim will be accomplished.

RECOMMENDATIONS of the
army general staff to President
Hoover are expected to point to
the country’s military forces which
drastic cuts in the expenditures for
It is hoped will be followed by fur-
ther tax reduction.
This Is all well and good. But it
It is said that in the recommenda-
tions may be found one to abolish
many of the army posts now exist-
ing. and to centralize training army
training stations. In this last fea-
ture Texans living along the border
including Brownsville people will be
found opposing such a move.
These people hold that money ex-
pended in this manner does the
greatest amount of good and when
the many millions used is mentioned
it is found to be comparatively
small. Not only is training of men
one end accomplished but border
protection is found. And the money
thus expended circulates back to
more tax payers than probably that
of any other army fund.
Valley people and all those with
such are looking muchly to the Dem-
ocratic leader John Garner to
champion them in keeping their
'posts for them. Not only do they
consider it wise but they also like
the association of the army people.
A TELEPHONE CALL today
brought forth two suggestions lor
Brownsville to follow in advertising
the city and the Valley to tourists.
It was said that while the tourist
season is on in full blasts there
might be inaugurated musical re-
citals at the picture shows or Eome
entertainment of some kind else-
where say during the noon hour.
_ A few minutes of this program it
f is said should be devoted to very
short addresses telling of the Valley.
It was added that dilterent Browns-
ville or Valley men could be selected1
as speakers.
It was further suggested that
merchants make use ot citrus fruits
in decorating their windows during
tne holidays.
The conductor of this train of
hopes offers it to those interested for
what it may be worth.

ONE MONTH FROM today all of
us will be broke but very very!
happy.

PRESIDENT HOOVER in tele-
grams to the various governors has
stepped out with tangiole and preg-
nant ideas lor keeping the economic
wheels turning so that the prosper-
ity of tne nation may be continued.
As an outcome of the meetings he
has called there lias come forth a
request which reaches to the farth-
est town and hamlet. Briefly this
is that if we have any work to do
let's do it now and not have any
unemployed.
Brownsville and the Valley know-
nothing of bread lines but if that
Is what the national leaders want
to keep the mill grinding we stand
ready to cooperate.
Especially do we stand ready if
the government will give us a new
post office. We can work with a will
on that.

Vegetables Problem of Board
By HARRY L. SEXTON
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25—A defin-
ite program for federal aid in the so-
lution of the marketing problems of
cooperative handling vegetables
fruit and other perishable farm
products is expected to be an-
nounced in a few days by the federal
farm board.
Whether announcement of this
program will carry recommendations
for any specific national marketing
agency has not been stated by board
members but it is believed that
after a thorough investigation of
I the various agencies are reported
! to have indicated to the board that
their policies and financial standing
are such as would justify a recom-
mendation from the farm body and
recent mergers are regarded as an
index of the trend toward reducing
marketing costs and providing for
growers of perishables a wider and
more efficient system of distribution.
The cooperative marketing divi-
sion. formerly a division of the de-
partment of agriculture has been
taken over bodily by the farm board.
The heads of this division are prac-
tically unanimous upon one funda-
mental with respect to cooperatives
handling perishables—that existing
cooperatives should be utilized as
the basis upon which to build for
the future. In both the winter and
summer vegetable and fruit produc-
ing areas a movement is under way.

NEW LEADERS
WARREN PAID
HIGH TRIBUTE
Hoover Leads National
Figures To Bedside
Of Senator
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.—(>P>—
Death has taken Senator Francis E.
Warren of Wyoming veteran of the
rugged west who came to Washing-
ton to serve longer In the United
States senate than any man in his-
tory.
With his wife his son Fred and
his son-in-law General John J.
Pershing at his bedside the eld-
erly legislator died yesterday from
pneumonia and bronchitis. He was
85 years of age.
The senate will honor the man
who was one of its members con-
tinuously for 35 years with a state
funeral tomorrow in the senate
.chamber and afterward delegations
from both houses of congress will
escort the body to Wyoming.
Senator Warren had the reputa-
tion of being (me of the senate's
hardest workers and the robust-
ness of his constitution was a
source of amazement to his friends.
Many times he sat through an all
night filibuster while younger
members sought the comfort of
their beds.
With the advent of the Harding
administration in 1931. Senator
Warren became Chairman of the
important appropriations commit-
tee and held the post he served un-
til his death. He had the respon-
sibility of guiding through the sen-
ate legislation providing billions of
dollars for the conduct of the fed-
eral government.
President Hoover led official
Washington in paying tribute to
the deceased legislator. Every stage
of his life the chief executive said
was "marked by increasing indus-
try and devotion to national wel-
fare." adding Senator Warren was
a leader among ‘‘those to whom we
of this generation owe much of
our splendid inheritance."

be in position to be coordinated into
the national movement.
Marketing Big Problem
The problem of marketing perish-
ables is the most complex with
which the farm board will have to
deal. Representatives of that body
state frankly that it presents so
many and conflicting angles each of
which must be thoroughly investi-
gated that considerable time will
elapse before the board can formu-
late definite policies.
They take the view that unless
the board proceeds very cautiously
errors may be made which would
prove a serious handicap to the fu-
ture development of the cooperative
movement as well as the develop-
ment of a distribution system upon
a plane of high efficiency.
"The problem of perishables is
such that we cannot formulate a
definite policy without thorough in-
vestigation.” a representative of the
board stated. “Any mistake at the
outset would be multiplied later. We
must first establish our policies upon
a foundation that will assure proper
and efficient development. This of
course requires time at the outset
but it will result in a solid founda-
tion upon which we can build in the
future."
The feature of the act under
which the farm board was created
is that it makes it incumbent upon
the farmers to aid themselves
through organization. It has pro-
vided them with the tools to work
out the marketing angle of the farm
problem. It placed large funds at
the disposal of the farmers and of-
fers advice experience and infor-
mation and has the power to make

The only string attached to this gift
is that unless the farmers them-

fit of agriculture.
